What lies beyond the limits of out atmosphere? Is it just a vast nothingness, not comprehendible by out human minds? Were all space travels and satellite-taken-pictures just something cooked up in Hollywood and accepted by people as a reality?
Assuming that what NASA has explored is not a farce, what lies beyond what the telescopes have seen? Or what the satellites have taken pictures of? Or where the astronauts have been? Are there any galaxies out there like ours; any that have something close to our form of life? Do we have alien counterparts somewhere? Or are they something totally different? Are our time and size the same or relative to theirs? Is there no real life as we know it, but only celestial beings? Are we alone in the universe?
How far does the universe reach? Is it an endless void with no beginning or end? With no center or boundaries? Is that the expression of infinity; or is it a little different? Does the Universe have boundaries? If so, what lies beyond those boundaries? Suppose we were to get past the reaches of the Universe, would we find that our entire Universe is merely the nucleus of an atom in a whole other universe? And is every nucleus of an atom in that universe a different universe altogether? What if every nucleus of an atom in our Universe is an entire universe altogether? Does it continue both ways like that forever? Is that infinity?
Did our Universe ever have a birth? Will it have a death? Are these questions too complex for our human minds to ponder? Or are we just too scared to realize or find out? I’m not: what’s out there?
In my opinion, space is what we make of it. It does not apply to any certain set of rules. Each person is different and has their own set of opinions and thoughts. We all see things differently. We can’t see something from someone else’s eyes, therefore we don’t know what they see. In this sense, we don’t know what they see space as. Therefore, there is no proof that space is the same for everybody. Space is in the eye of the beholder.
(I would like to thank my Dad and Stephen King for their theories on space which I have included in this essay.)
